Getting to Your Cottage

Standard sedan access: Tarentaal, Kiewiet and Hoephoep are easily accessible by standard car. Park right at your cottage.
4x4 uphill access: our cottages on the hill (Karee, Olienhout, Kiepersol, Akasia, Piet-my-vrou and Suikerbos) require a 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle to drive up.
Don't have a 4x4? No problem. Park safely under our dedicated shade-net parking at the foot of the hill. Our staff will assist with your luggage up to the cottage and down again on departure. It is between 100m and 500m uphill, depending on which cottage you booked.
